Several clubs in for Dossena

Several other clubs are in the race to sign Udinese full back Andrea Dossena, according to the Udine club. Fiorentina and Roma are believed to be battling with Liverpool to land the player.

"We have not got an agreement yet with the English side," Udinese's sporting director Pietro Leonardi told the Italian media.

"We are negotiating, but we will talk again next week.

"For the moment, nothing is done."

His agent confirmed that his future was still very much up in the air: "The future of the player is still very uncertain. He will decide everything in the coming weeks.

"Prandelli knows Dossena very well, he is aware of his strengths and weaknesses."
